Looking for a 2nd Opinion in Dallas/Ft. Worth Area

Sat, 10/07/2006 - 19:27
Hello, I am new here and was wondering if anyone knew of a good epileptologist? My son Zach had infantile spasms at 4 mos and was on ACTH. They stopped almost as quickly as the onset after experimenting with other drugs briefly. He was completely seizure free for 18 mos, and after resuming his vaccines he started with complex seizures. We have tried Trileptol, Keppra, and Dilantin and none have been effective. He has 4-6 a day(throughout the night). I don't know what else I should be doing or asking. Any advice or direction would be most appreciated.
